Icon17 5167 & 5711 review and pictures

I've bashed together a small write up and a few snaps to show the details and differences of the two references. I've also thrown in a Rolex to get out the details and dimensions

In a nutshell the 5711 Nautilus is a classic among classics and the fact that you can't find it at ADs is an indication

The 5167 Aquanaut must be one of the most comfortable watches to wear. The rubber strap is extremely comfortable

Both are great sport watches, elegant and understated. Very interesting and small pieces of art and you can't go wrong with either.

Both 40mm and use the same 324 non-hacking movement






The 5167 has a big tasty roman numerals dial. by far the best lume of any watch I've ever owned


The 5711's blue dial needs little introduction, it's simply stunning


Three 40mm sports watches next to each other


The 5711 is very thin and sits very flat on the wrist. next to a £1 coin


Bit thicker is the 5167 and like the 5711 is hugs the wrist and it's pure bliss




5711 compared to a 1680 Sub


Both watches come with a clear caseback so the movement can be enjoyed






Deployment buckle on both - very sturdy and very high quality as it can be expected








5711 on the wrist. 40mm just the right size


This has to be one of the best crafted bracelets on the market. note the 1.5 link I've fitted to get a super comfy fit


5167


So comfy it's unreal


Another 40mm classic




On the arm to get an idea of the size of these two great Pateks



That's it folks, thanks for looking
